When Giant Babies Attack!
11/24/18
11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Come enjoy an original children’s story featuring audience participation and musical accompaniment by members of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra.
Created by MSO principal oboist Joseph Salvalaggio, Babu Press performances use classical music to help kids develop an appreciation for the arts and foster a love of reading. The performances are entertaining for audiences of all ages, from toddlers to adults.
Enjoy brunch at any of the great restaurants at Crosstown Concourse before or after the performance.
About the story:
Everything is perfect in the sleepy little town of Beetville, except that the only thing to eat is, well, beets: Beet pie, beet pizza, even beet McNuggets. Clementine and Susanna hate beets, but their baby brother eats so many that he grows and grows until his head pops through the roof and into the clouds. Things only get worse as he begins a terrifying rampage through the city streets. They’ll be grounded for a month if their mom finds out!
Find out what happens next as your little listener discovers the music of Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Grieg, and an introduction to major and minor tonalities with songs like My Darling Clementine, Oh Susanna, and She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain. Beetville can never be the same again … WHEN GIANT BABIESATTACK!
